Sol's blog is allegedly written by the kids, who wonder why Mama takes them to all these strange museums in and around Moscow. Here, she's discovered a treasure trove of art deco wonders. Just what the world needs, right?

She writes:

And what Mama decided after touring the Moscow Art Deco Museum’s one largish room is that it is a pretty good entry into a New Russian [bleep]ing contest. Because it is, in fact, only marginally more tasteful than building a house with seventeen fairytale turrets and filling it with repo Louis XIV furniture before covering everything with gold gilt. Says Mama, who thinks you can only really get away with that if you are actually a 17th Century French king with a giant 1000 room palace to fill, and multiple dancing fountains or 200 pairs of diamond studded heels to offset.
